It looks like climate change is part of the earth's very being.

Drought blamed for the demise of Mayans...

High rainfall between 440 and 660 CE allowed the Maya to flourish in the first instance, and that while mild droughts in the following years led to extensive warfare and the decline of Mayan civilisation, it was a prolonged period of drought between 1020 and 1100 CE that was ultimately fatal.

Maybe fracking corn caused the climate change?
Other experts opine that it was caused by Mayan SUVs.

Friends of the Earth Claim: Studies show fracking causes cancer in local communities

There is no end to eco-lunacy. :lol: :lol:

“Several peer-reviewed studies have shown that [extracion] operations and production activities significantly increase the cancer risks for communities living less than half a mile from drilling sites,” Antoine Simon, extractive industries campaigner at Friends of the Earth Europe, told EurActiv.

Telling us that climate change can kill off a civilization supports your viewpoint???

What next, you gonna tell us that the stock market going up for four years shows QE is bad??? :blink:

If the world didn't suck, wouldn't we all just fly off?

Hey Stocks, here's a chance to put your stomach where your mouth is.

Go get a gallon of these fracking fluids and just put one drop each day in your beer and drink it. After a year, report back on how little impact this had on your brain stem.

If you refuse to do what those people in those communities are basically being subjected to, I guess that makes you an eco-looney... if not something else.

The demise of the Mayans was likely not caused by human activity, but that conveniently went right over your head.
The earth can be a tough place to live on at times.
Sometimes it even kills you.

Raising taxes for the Carbon G0D or sacrificing humans will not change the climate.

The facts sure can mess up one's belief system.
But the faithful know that they must "Do Something" to appease the Carbon G0D, even if it's just to appease their own paranoid spyche.

Federal Study Reveals Global Warming err..aaah Climate Change err aaah Climate Extremes Not To Blame For Crippling Drought...

“This is one of those events that comes along once every couple hundreds of years,” lead author Martin Hoerling, a research meteorologist at NOAA, said. “Climate change was not a significant part, if any, of the event.”
